london / monday / 1626
apologies. my computer completely and utterly died in ibiza, so i've only just been able to upload these photos... you'll see that we had an amazing time, both in vigo and oporto. playing to around 35000 people over two nights was always gonna be fun! thanks to everyone who came out to see us.
oporto is a beautiful city. i just wandered around for hours, getting totally lost. the tiny side streets are just the most amazing places - full of people cooking up dinner, and then you'll turn the corner and find an incredible church, or some other wonderful building. and everyone seems incredibly friendly. i loved it.

this almost deserves a caption competition







the crowd went back as far as i could see

vigo

some great street art in vigo. i absolutely love the outline of the tree and the elephant.

pics from last night and today...







San Antonio / tuesday / 1715
we arrived quite late last night. sat by the swimming pool and tried to cool down, and fed the 3 cats that seem to live at the villa we're in. spent much of today doing the same thing, and enjoying the sunshine. i've never been here before - looks like it could get quite hectic later.

i went to see u for the first time in oporto last summer and i just LOVED!! i hope u come back soon to portugal so that i can see you at live again! i can't wait for that! since then i've become kinda KEANE addicted cuz every single day i have to listen at least one music of yours! thanks for making part of my life! thanks for the wonderful musics! thanks for everything! u r one of the BEST BANDS IN the WORLD, don't ever doubt that! keep the excelent work! can't wait to buy a new Keane CD hehe :) Thanks for sharing with us all your photos from the concerts and all the amazing places u go! LOTS OF KISSES AND HUGS FROM "POVO DO NORTE" (people of north lol) :DDD

Fantastic Photos, the show in Gaia was PERFECT. Come back soon and have fun with " People of the North"!!!!!!
Loved every pic, but, i prefer the ones took in Porto because i'm from Portugal... I live in Lisbon but i already went to Porto and i agree with what you said about the small streets and i loved the pictures you took in Praça da Batalha and in Ribeira, the bridge is beautiful, they're awesome! Love xoxo
GREAT concert at vigo guys I loved it. I go to Spain every summer and when i heard KEANE was at vigo I was OMG and they were playing close to were I live in Spain So VIVA KEANE
so beautiful pic' love you keane
so beautiful pic' love you keane
so beautiful pic' love you keane
I've been in Oporto, to my first festival, it was my birthday present, and I could not pick any better, you rocked. During the concert I thought that it was impossible, I could not be there earing you playing. I hope that you came back soon.
I will say, I am not hired by the Ibiza Tourism Office, BUT, these new pictures are MUCH better than Part I, ones ( a liitle scary). Thanks for showing the beauty face of the island. Kisses from Madrid
keane's show in gaia was simply amazing!!!! It's the second keane show I saw, and the second in the north of Portugal. I have to agree, richard, oporto is a wonderful city! And the best soundtrack for this city is Keane ;) I hope you come back to this place!!
Fair play then.
OMG- - it doesn´t mean- no it doesn´t matter
Rp: "Got you, it's Playing Along, ha, ha, ha!"
"I am so clever that sometimes I don´t understand a single word of what I am saying"/ O.Wilde/
and when I am only joking, it doesn´t matter I pretend I am alone
Oh, my English, but I think to play sb. along= approximately- to be only joking....
Pigeon story:Rp:" Looks like the next song is Pretend That You're Alone. You got me wrong." Lp: "I was just pretending, ha, ha."
Yes, OK playing along....I do just so!
Pigeon story, correction: Rp: "What's the next song?" Lp: "Playing Along" Rp:"That's all we've been doing". Lp:"Just a coincidence".
she sends, of course - with -s- the third person of singular
Thanks very much Richard. I´d write a caption for your pics " Rhytmus del Mundo", like a CD with Tomś vocals-it is a drop dead gorgeous/ Tom´s voice and your pics/ I send you many regards from mercedes and she send you : "All the world´s a stage, and all the men and women merely players, they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."see you later, in love
Rich Hello!, how are you?. Totally understand my computer fails quite often (I need a new one), and it is so frustrating, but Im back on line again just to tell you how much i enjoy your pics. Best regards for you and the rest of the band! Pilar
Hey guys!!!! Thank you so much for everything you do for us!!!! I will be on holiday for three weeks now, so I wanted to wish you a good time!!! See you then!!! You are the best band of the world!!!! Love from Germany♥
anya: Very neat indeed! It's as if the bird were part of the building: we've got a perfect symmetry side view! Beautiful picture! Thanks for sharing that important tiny detail! And thanks a lot Richard for that incredible shot
Okay, guys. Thanks for info. So no prize for the best caption. I had my heart set on a pair of drumsticks from Richard. As if.
@picklepine: You are right! There IS a giant key at the back, right hand side of the first floor! Those two pigeons sitting up above are funny! Also, in the one sunrise photo of the tops of that Church building, there is a tiny bird perched way on top of the cement globe that is at the crest of the design. It is very tiny, but you can see that bird if you look closely enough. Neat! Nature & the man-made stuff together in one photo.
Parabens as fotos do Porto estão muito boas!!!!!! keane the best :)

@lilahlamb: I think, nothing, only- peace of mind - all the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for it.
I don't think there's going to ba a winner lilahlamb, the fun is in taking part and reading the various captions written.
I wonder what the winner of the caption competition gets? Anybody knows?
Feel in love with the picture of the cat and the fortress. Y la cucaracha! la cucaracha! lol. It was too close. Take care Richard, lots of love from Peru xx
jjijii hi keane!!!!and rich very good!!!jjaIjiji beatifull pick!!!!!!! :) beatifull cat!!!!! jajaijiji from argentinian :) keane keane keane!!! jiji :) byebye
I was there! In Porto concert, at Mares Vivas Festival. It was such an amasing concert guys =') in the photo of the crowd I 'm in the first row with my arm up and my brand new t-shirt of Keane =D the hours of waiting were worthy no doubt at all. Expecting to see you soon for another great show!! =D
Oh, God , this World is so wonderful!
Nice photos, Rich! Exspessially the one with Jesse there! Please come to Oslo again very soon! I still can't forget your amazing performance at the Norwegian Wood festival! Awesome
- correction- coincidence-

Hey guys!!!! The pictures are so beautiful!!!!! I just love them so thank you very much!!! I´m really sorry for not beeing online for two weeks but I was on holiday....xD It´s graet to see that you have a great time and enjoy yourselves!!!! Have a great time and stay the way you are!!!!

Nice caption too,ha,ha. Thanks to everyone by the way.
picklepine: I've just seen it! You have good or sharp eyesight! Thanks, it's an interesting detail.
anya: Thank you Anne! I'm glad you enjoyed the pigeon conversation I wrote despite it being full of mistakes. I would write it again and change some words if I didn't mind clogging the blog. See you!
Such a pretty photoblog update! I usually steal a pic for my desktop background as a reminder to live my day in perfect symmetry but this time I can't choose just one! Ok, onto the caption: "In search of inspiration two members of the struggling indie band Feathers visit the early days London residence of Keane." As a soundtrack, I would choose "Easier" from Grizzly Bear's 'Yellow House' album. Btw, did anyone else notice the giant key on the first floor?
KEANE - It just gets better & better with those photos, Richard! Excellent work! @ Johanna & Mihajasoa: I enjoyed reading Both of your "Pigeon Conversations"! Funny! Heya!@Gudrun: IF Keane Ever come to Vienna's Planet TT, YOU should be the one to introduce them onstage! Definitely, Yeah!!! Nice to see all of you Keane fans here!!!! xx, from> A.!
RP: .. an old Fairytale told me that looking at your crystal ball ... that we need to find somewhere only we know. LP: Oh! really? but you haven't told me anythinhg about it. DP: Well this another day and I can see nothing in my way now. LP: Don't cry ...don't look away. we need believe that there will be a place better than this.

Really excellent photos as always, dear Richard !!!!! The one with the burnt candle seems weird to me, though. Bet you had a great time over there ! Have a nice summer ! Kisses from Charlotte in Paris
Lovely, lovely photos, Rich!!! They are so inspiring... So many beautiful and different views... It must be so exciting for you guys to see the contrast from one place to the other in such a short period of time! Thanks soooo much for sharing them with us, it means a lot, we feel so connected to you. I read the other day on the newspaper that here in Sao Paulo they now offer a guided tour specially for street art, isn't this cool?? Me and my husband are so interested in joining one of the groups... maybe this weekend or on the next! We'll think about you all the time, for sure!! Hopefully we'll be able to take nice pictures, then we'll send some of them to you by email... Lots of love from Brazil

BY THE WAY, THAT CAT IS LOVELY, JUST LIKE YOURS, RIGHT ????. I SEND YOU LOTS AND LOTS OF KISSES AND HUGS. MEXICO WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are dope pictures. It's good that all of them are not the typical post card pristine photos but the other side of Ibiza like roaches (??) alleys, old buildings, and graffiti art. The concert crowd shot is breathtaking as well. Thanks!
Pigeon-man: So, my darling, do you like our new home? I think not everybody has a yellow window & door. Pigeon-wife: You want to tell me, that´s the dream house, you told me about? Maybe I should even go through this dark door? Pigeon-man: Well, honey, don´t be afraid. Just trust me! Pigeon-wife: How many times should I trust you? I know you and I have to say: that I won´t to be on a place like take. Pigeon-man: You know what, You´re right, the announce of this house was completly rubbish! We should be more patient and I´m sure that we will find our dreamhouse, someday! Even I wouldn´t care, to stay with you anywhere. At least when you´re at my side! Pegion-wife: aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, that´s very sweet from you. Thank you, my darling! Come on we have wings to fly and I´m sure we find what we´re looking for. You know, I also would stay with you anywhere, but you know, I don´t like to get stuck, if we can make a change. Ok, not a really good caption, sorry!
I am wondering when keane will release their songs they have done with K'naan and possibly Kanye. Things are going a little quiet down keane way... I can't wait to hear something!! xx
¡Qué lindas fotos! Están geniales, ya extrañaba las fotos de Rich. El verano en Oporto e Ibiza se ve fabuloso. Acá en Santiago de Chile está lloviendo mucho y hace frío. Y en mi casa (cerca de la cordillera en el Cajón del Maipo) quizás esté nevando, brrrr!!! ¡Necesito un poco de sol!... Pero faltó una de él, que es tan lindo!!!... Saludos a todos. Daniela from Chile.
Dearest Tom: Just a kiss Night Night, I hope all is well. God Bless! Always wishing you Peace Love and Happiness ღ♥ஜ Rachel ஜ♥ღ ~

Ciao Richard, fino ad ora sono stata a guardare le tue foto : certo non posso commentarle tutte, belli i posti del Portogallo e quella casa in rovina non si poteva guardare... come ti è venuta questa idea ? Solo tu potevi ritrarre simili scene desolanti, però nello stesso tempo mi fanno tanto ridere perchè sono scattate da te ! Stupenda Ibiza, io ho visitato anche quel castello e c' era la guida che ci spiegava tutto mi fà impressione che state visitando gli stessi luoghi dove sono stata io ! Anche in quel porto sono andata, a passeggiare sulla spiaggia , comunque mi ricorda i paesaggi della Sicilia !Oggi sono andata al mare, tornando a casa sono passata dal porto di Catania , e guardando queste immagini noto di più la somiglianza ! Ora chiudo perchè sono stanca, Richard ti voglio bene !By Sabrina da Catania ! Grazie di tutto!
Haha, Jesse wears BAPE? Great photographs Richard (: reminds me of Venice..
Nice pic's Richard! Looks like you were having a great time! Would love to go on tour with you. Never a dull moment I guess.. Don't need another assistant by chance? Love you guys! Your music means a lot to me! xxx Martine, Holland
Great pics Rich hope you enjoy the rest of your tour xxLove You Keane xx Leanne xxx
Wow ! Rich You're the best Thanks. Lot of love from Thailand,Pumai
It's lunch time !... Richard, this makes me think that there are something you certainly don't like, over there : the Tripes Porto style, for instance !!!...
...great great great pics... I love it! thanks
Thanks so much for many lovely pics, Richard!! Very nice weather, beautiful sea and lovely stores and houses on a street. I'm overwhelmed to a blue mural painting, and amazed with the Japanese girl on the wall:D
Thanks for sharing all the pics and thanks for those both amazing gigs .... have a nice day all and a good rest!
Those tiles are cool! I love the crazy detail of the picture they make together. Random: Richard, if you guys play the same set list here in Portland as you did in Vigo and Oporto, I will be the happiest fan...in Portland. hahaha But seriously, it's basically my dream Keane set list. Good job
WOW! These blue and white tiles look a bit like the cd cover of Perfect Symmetry! Hugs from YoYo May and lots of kisses from Holland XXX.
Fab pics of Ibiza. Holidayed there a few years back, the pics brought it all back. Sigh! Caption; 'When they said in the brochure great views and air conditioned, they weren't kidding!' P.S. Don't keep feeding the cats, you'll fall in love with them and want to take them home! Lol. P.P.S. Come home soon, I need a Keane fix!
Caption: Birds of a feather flock together.
Well, how could VIENNA compete with a crowd like that? As it seems you will not be coming Lady Gaga plays the venue I have in mind for you. 80s, 80s, 80s everywhere I look and everything I hear ... till people are fed up. I am already.
Richard, thank you very much for the pictures! :) Thank you for the amazing concert in Porto! We really love your music, you are a great band! Come back soon!
Blast! You've gone and riled up my wanderlust!!!!I've just realized that you have my dream life. It's your JOB to travel,and see the far corners of the earth, hang out with your best friends AND play music nearly everyday.(and go to many festivals)e On top of that, you experiment with music, meet and work with people you admire, and meet lots of people who are nothing but happy to see you everywhere you go! Just wandering around the cities as you do would be perfect, amazing!Iimagine myself wandering around in the pictures you posted, seeing with my own eyes, treading with my own feet the places you've been,SIGH! Thank You so much for the pictures and blog.My Fabulous (Albeit Vicarious) Travel Friend, All Good Things To You! XX

Once again, a magnificient show in Gaia-Porto,for 30.000 people and i was there, thank you Keane for just being you.Thanks Richard for your pics, specially the one of the crowd. I was discovering Porto also, but I think we were in different parts of this beautiful city. And as you say people are very friendly and kind or as Tom said in the concert, " povo de Gaia é um povo bom " ( not in this portuguese ). I wish you the best for all of you and please continue like that. Hope to see you again live very soon. Kisses from N. Matias-Maceira-Leiria-Portugal.

This is a place I would like to go someday! Loved all the pics, thank you Richard! LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAVOURITE BAND! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I AM WISHIING YOU ALL A GREAT WEEK! XXXXXXXXXXXXX
«My computer died in Ibiza»... Or in other words, «I had better things to do and the blog could wait !!!»... Richard, shame ! But ok, you're partly forgiven and mostly as you've wandered for hours to capture these wonderful snapshots... And all the more so as you take to heart for doing all this stuff !... The pigeons really are priceless and they think perhaps to redecorate : "Sweetheart, it's time to change the interior decorating !"... Or could be translated in French as : "Chérie, c'est décidé : cette année, on refait la déco !"... Richard, kudos for all these sweet moments... By the way, I hope you had opportunity to bow the lovely and talented Colbie CAILLAT who had wished to see the video of KEANE /IIAW, in Taratata... In brief, I think she is also «Falling For You», KEANE... ♥Lots Of Love♥.
hello!!!1 lovely boy... love all the pics epecially the one with the city lights in the back and the boats in the front, i love it... pretty nice shoot... !!! (nice photoshop???? xdxdxdx) and i agree with you about the caption competition !!!! best regards from chile !! ! niza xx
ohhh, the pictures are amazing as always rich. that is such a beuatiful place!the buildings...amazing! WOOW...35000, that must have been awesome!!!!!! I really wish I was there, big crowd! Lots of love, from Brazil
Richard the pics are wonderful. I loved the concert, in fact, I had the impression that it only lasted .20 minutes. :o) Porto is beautifull, and you don't have time to discover all the great places on there, maybe the next time. I loved the pic from the crowd, even I shuddered only of looking, i knew that the public was on fire, it was brutish. I hope you keep the promise to come back soon. Until there take care of yourselves, rest and burns down the capitals!!!!
Worth waiting for! The blue and white artwork is beautiful, and I agree, so is the silhouette of the tree. Thank you. x
hi keaners...biba ó Porto!! e biba Gaia...
Great pics of the finy city of Porto.. it's indeed a lovely city. The show was amazing! Thank you so much! :)
Oh, juhuuu - another amazing Perfect Symmetry triangles. Hi Richard! Very lovely pictures of oporto. I haven't been there yet, the pictures are just beautiful. And Jesse looks good. More masculine than before. Nice sunglasses, nice blue shirt. There are no pics of you unfortunately! But I guess you're fine. Haha, you think the crowd went back? If Tom made one of his distorted canto faces ... Oh, I love the triangles. Hugs, Jen
MR HUGHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed your pics!!... The background picture is so....so...Perfect Symmetry! hahaha....love it....actually loved them all....Spain is beautiful!.....HugsAndKissesToKeane

Hey a wall with a PS reference!!
Richard, I wonder where you have been during all the day in Vigo before the concert. I talked to Tim, while he was playing his guitar in the stairs of the Auditorium; Jesse was playing football in the middle of the arena. We could even see Tom walking from backstage to the bus once.... and everybody was asking: where´s Richard ????????
Wonderful pictures! You're a great fotographer, Richard. Good eye. Thänks ä lot. Angie
THANK YOU FOR THE PHOTOS OF JESSE !
Thats a wonderfull city! I just want to say HAPY FRIENDS DAY for the Keane comunity. in the 40 anniversary of the arrival to the moon! :)
Hi Rich! Thanks beautiful pics.Truly I love the urban art,the tree and the elephant is fab,the Chinese woman is pretty good too. ... Little pigeons can carry great messages :D Bunch of hugs and kisses from RIO DE JANEIRO -BRAZIL
I had a spectacular weekend because I had keane in double dose. The concert of Vigo was very good, but the concert of the Oporto was the cherry on of the cake. I am happy for liking my city (Oporto). Happinesses and I will continue intent to your work. Carla Oliveira(Portugal)
Some beautiful pics! Love from Brazil!

ça sent la méditerrannée ! Très belles photos. Continue comme ça, Richard, tu nous ravis à chaque fois. Là maintenant il faut que je quitte. A la prochaine !
I love Richard´s photos! They´re GREAT!! =D
Hi Richard - thank you thank you thank you!! You've absolutely NO need to apologise to anyone - your photos are a beautiful bonus - we're lucky to have such a decent, lovely human being for a drummer in our favourite band. You spoil us!! Might there be another DVD out sometime soon? Like many other Keane fans, my copy of the O2 2007 gig is wearing out and I'd love something else to gawp at!!! This past year has been amazing for you & us - have seen you 5 times since the Forum gig in September and you've got better EVERY time. Really special. Cheers & have a well-deserved rest all of you - band & crew Lots of love XXXXXX
beautiful richard..!
Premier pigeon: " Je crois qu'on s'est fait avoir". Deuxième pigeon: "C'est normal, nous sommes des pigeons!" Premier pigeon: "Ce n'est pas une raison pour nous plumer." Deuxième pigeon : " La prochaine fois on se contentera d'un logement traditionnel".
really happy to see where you've been and that you liked the beautiful city of oporto - great to see two of 'my' cities in the same blog - i brought both flags to the gig! those words really do describe the spirit of the old part of the town. i reckon i'll only have the chance to see you once again in portugal so i hope that will be in porto again! by the way, playing Under Pressure to close the festival was the best thing you could have done for your image in portugal - i havent read a single review or comment on your gig that was not positive from people who were not fans and everyone was genuinely impressed by how you nailed it, so well done and sorry for shouting for that song throughout the entire gig! ;)
I'm so glad to see you had fun in Portugal ! As I said the other time, this country is my second home. I wish I could have seen your concert there too =/ I read recently you are going to release the tracks you and Kanye West were working on until the end of 2009 ! I'm so excited about that ! Kisses from Rio, Brazil (we love you, guys !) ;**
episode 2 of the reality show: First pigeon " Very convenient indeed. But about draught ? " Second pigeon "When it's hot you don't care."
Thanks Richard for the new bunch! amazing! It'd be lovely if the fourth one were the background :D I also like the ninth one, looks like Diagon Alley from Harry Potter.
I think the pigeon pic deserves a full short story, but now only have time for a short caption: "Darling, it's time to fly!". Further along, with more time available will make an attempt at a full short story. your pictures are so worth it!
Dear Rich, you took wonderful photos! I think that every country has something special, something that makes it special, i would like to travel around the world and and discover the culture of each. when are you coming back to Buenos Aires again?? the fans from Argentina will appreciate the info! and... WANT TO SAY TO PEOPLE FROM ARGENTINA '' HAPPY FRIEND DAY!!!!! me, from Argentina.
as allways i have to congratulate richard for those great photos.....i absolutely love them....they blow my mind......come back to colombia soon ....have a great day.
Amazing pictures Richard , thank you so much !!!!! See you soon in The Hague !!!! Lots of love and many kisses to you , Tom , Tim and Jesse !!!! xxxx Ellen , Holland .
Thank you Richard! The pictures are awesome! You had a great time no doubt. The pics of Oporto, Vigo and Ibizza are great, the streets, the buildings, the roofs, the street art, the panoramic views of the cities, the sea and the coast, the wonderful pics of Oport at night with the lights reflected in the sea...Impressive view of the crowd too! Wouah! About the pigeons.First pigeon "What happened to the walls ? " Second pigeon " A reality TV show I guess".
AMAZING pics from Porto! Thank you Rich! =)

Hey Richard!! Nice pics :) A HUGE HUG FROM CHILE :)
Lovely photos, Richard. Thanks again for sharing! Just how many countries have you guys been to in the last year? Amazing! The one photo of the Delft blue wall in Porto especially is stunning, it's really a a work of art, love it. O.k. now for the caption: Left pigeon: "Well, the estate agent was nice enough to have us view the flat, but I didn't know he literally meant it was an open house!" Right pigeon: " Yeah, what on earth, where's the wall?" Left pigeon:" I ain't gonna pay a single penny of rent here, what does he take us for?" Right pigeon: " Let's use it as a squat. Squatters rights, baby! "
oh, thanks Richaerd, absolutely wonderful. The elephant is cool but I like this Geisha more, XD
